Yes, but railfan nirvana meant commuter chaos. If I were alive in 1967, I'd have done it this way: QJ: 168th to Stillwell via Brighton (unchanged) JJ: Atlantic Ave. to Chambers St, rush hours M: Metropolitan Ave. to 95th St. The first 5 or 6 M trains leaving Metro would run to 95th, then all remaining would run to Broad St. The trains to 95th would then run north, providing the peak Nassau St. service the RJ was intended to provide, running back to Metro. This gives the southern division BMT riders the Nassau St. service needed, and it does not include any meaningless and confusing routes to their Eastern Division cousins. Same thing in the afternoon, only in reverse order. Now, if I really had my way back in 1967, I'd have eliminated the QJ, turned the QB into a weekday route and have it be the only Brighton local, and I would have run the M to Ditmas Ave via a rehabbed, double tracked Culver shuttle structure. But we all know that spending money to restore an elevated structure in 1967 was just not gonna happen. |
